I received this book through Librarything.com Early Member Giveaway for an honest review. This is my own opinion. I didn't really enjoy this book. I found this book bias. Most of the women in the book, I already knew about their lives. ( )

"Leading the Way: Women in Power" profiles 50 female political leaders in the United States. The two-page biographies offer readers an accessible introduction to women who served in various capacities, such as Supreme Court Justices, congresswomen, governors, and social activists. The women included range from ones currently active (Nancy Pelosi, Kamala Harris, and Sonia Sotomayor) to historic figures and trailblazers (Ida B. Wells-Barnett, Margaret Chase Smith, and Mary McLeod Buthane). Additionally, as the examples listed above suggest, there is a mix of well-known figures and those who are lesser-known but are still important. Beyond the biographical information, the book's other features are less successful. As others have noted, the pictures leave a great deal to be desired (most are unremarkable, some as genuinely unnerving in their lack of fealty to their subjects). Additionally, the badges that are included with each woman and are supposed to signify different traits, such as as communication, persistence, and integrity, are baffling and require the reader to go back and forth between the key and the biographies.

Despite these shortcomings, the book provides some useful information on the women and would give young readers a good starting place for learning about female leaders and their role in shaping the country. While it likely won't be a book that will be read cover-to-cover in a single sitting, it seems ideal for classroom use as an introduction and as a starting place for further research. ( )

I received this book in return for my honest review.

This book features two-page biographies on influential women. Each two page spread features two quotes, quick biographical facts (name, year of birth/death, position), an illustration, and one and quarter pages of text. It is an attractive book. ( )

Good book it you want to encourage young girls to go into politics. Short bio's of political women. Beautifully done book except. the drawings of the women were unimpressive. The drawings ranged from ok, to slightly off, to down right ugly. ( )
